The goal of "personalised" medicine has seen a growing interest in the development of theranostic agents. Bifunctional, and targeted-trifunctional, theranostic water-soluble porphyrins with a histidine-like chelating group have been synthesised via copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) "click" chemistry in high yield and purity. They are capable of photodynamic treatment and [99mTc(CO)3]+ complexation for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, with a radiochemical yield of >95%. The toxicity and phototoxicity were evaluated on HT-29 cells, DU145, and DU145-PSMA cell lines, with the targeted theranostic showing more potent phototoxicity towards DU145-PSMA expressing cells.
“个性化”医学的目标促使人们对治疗诊断试剂的发展产生了浓厚的兴趣。通过铜催化的叠氮-炔环加成(CuAAC)“点击”化学,合成了具有组氨酸样螯合基团的双功能和靶向三功能治疗诊断水溶性卟啉,产率和纯度都很高。它们能够进行光动力治疗,并与[99mTc(CO)3]+配合进行单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)成像,放射化学产率>95%。在 HT-29 细胞、DU145 和 DU145-PSMA 细胞系上评估了其毒性和光毒性,靶向治疗诊断试剂对表达 PSMA 的 DU145-PSMA 细胞表现出更强的光毒性。
